Section D – Risks
| Element | Title | |
|---|---|---|
| D.2 | Key risks regarding the Issuer and the Guarantor |
There are certain factors that may affect the Issuer's ability to fulfil its obligations under the Securities issued under the Programme [and the Guarantor's obligations under the Guarantee. |
| Twelve main categories of risk are inherent in BNPP's activities: Credit Risk; • |
||
| • Counterparty Risk; |
||
| • Securitisation; |
||
| • Market Risk; |
||
| • Operational Risk |
||
| • Compliance and Reputation Risk; |
||
| • Concentration Risk |
||
| • Asset-liability management Risk; |
||
| Breakeven Risk; • |
||
| • Strategy Risk; |
||
| • Liquidity and refinancing Risk; |
||
| • Insurance subscription Risk. |
||
| Difficult market and economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on the |
| Element | Title | |
|---|---|---|
| operating environment for financial institutions and hence on BNPP's financial condition, results of operations and cost of risk. |
||
| Legislative action and regulatory measures taken in response to the global financial crisis may materially impact BNPP and the financial and economic environment in which it operates. |
||
| BNPP's access to and cost of funding could be adversely affected by a resurgence of the Euro-zone sovereign debt crisis, worsening economic conditions, further rating downgrades or other factors. |
||
| A substantial increase in new provisions or a shortfall in the level of previously recorded provisions could adversely affect BNPP's results of operations and financial condition. |
||
| BNPP may incur significant losses on its trading and investment activities due to market fluctuations and volatility. |
||
| BNPP may generate lower revenues from brokerage and other commission and fee based businesses during market downturns. |
||
| Protracted market declines can reduce liquidity in the markets, making it harder to sell assets and possibly leading to material losses. |
||
| Significant interest rate changes could adversely affect BNPP's revenues or profitability. |
||
| The soundness and conduct of other financial institutions and market participants could adversely affect BNPP. |
||
| BNPP's competitive position could be harmed if its reputation is damaged. | ||
| An interruption in or a breach of BNPP's information systems may result in lost business and other losses. |
||
| Unforeseen external events can interrupt BNPP's operations and cause substantial losses and additional costs. |
||
| BNPP is subject to extensive and evolving regulatory regimes in the countries and regions in which it operates. |
||
| Notwithstanding BNPP's risk management policies, procedures and methods, it could still be exposed to unidentified or unanticipated risks, which could lead to material losses. |
||
| BNPP's hedging strategies may not prevent losses. | ||
| BNPP may experience difficulties integrating acquired companies and may be unable to realise the benefits expected from its acquisitions. |
||
| Intense competition, especially in France where it has the largest single concentration of its businesses, could adversely affect BNPP's revenues and |
| Element | Title | |
|---|---|---|
| profitability. | ||
| The following risk factors relate to BNPP B.V.: BNPP B.V. is an operating company. BNPP B.V.'s sole business is the raising and borrowing of money by issuing securities such as Notes, Warrants or Certificates or other obligations. BNPP B.V. has, and will have, no assets other than hedging agreements (OTC contracts mentioned in the Annual Reports), cash and fees payable to it, or other assets acquired by it, in each case in connection with the issue of securities or entry into other obligations related thereto from time to time. The net proceeds from each issue of Securities issued by the Issuer will become part of the general funds of BNPP B.V. BNPP B.V. uses such proceeds to maintain positions in options or futures contracts or other hedging instruments ("Hedging Agreements") and/or, in the case of Secured Securities, to acquire Collateral Assets. The ability of BNPP B.V. to meet its obligations under Securities issued by it will depend on the receipt by it of payments under the relevant Hedging Agreements. Consequently, Holders of BNPP B.V. Securities will, subject to the provisions of the relevant Guarantee, be exposed to the ability of counterparties in respect of such Hedging Agreements to perform their obligations under such Hedging Agreements. Securities sold in the United States or to U.S. Persons may be subject to transfer restrictions. |
||
| D.3 | Key risks regarding the Securities |
There are certain factors which are material for the purposes of assessing the market risks associated with Securities issued under the Programme, including that Securities (other than Secured Securities) are unsecured obligations, the trading price of the Securities is affected by a number of factors including, but |
| not limited to, the price of the relevant Underlying Reference(s), time to expiration or redemption and volatility and such factors mean that the trading price of the Securities may be below the Final Redemption Amount or Cash Settlement Amount or value of the Entitlement, |
||
| exposure to the Underlying Reference in many cases will be achieved by the relevant Issuer entering into hedging arrangements and, in respect of Securities linked to an Underlying Reference, potential investors are exposed to the performance of these hedging arrangements and events that may affect the hedging arrangements and consequently the occurrence of any of these events may affect the value of the Securities, |
||
| the Securities may have a minimum trading amount and if, following the transfer of any Securities, a Holder holds fewer Securities than the specified minimum trading amount, such Holder will not be permitted to transfer their remaining Securities prior to expiration or redemption, as applicable, without first purchasing enough additional Securities in order to hold the minimum trading amount, |
||
| the occurrence of an additional disruption event or optional additional disruption event may lead to an adjustment to the Securities, cancellation (in the case of Warrants) or early redemption (in the case of Notes and Certificates) or may result in the amount payable on scheduled redemption being different from the amount expected to be paid at scheduled redemption and consequently the occurrence of an |
| Element | Title | |
|---|---|---|
| additional disruption event and/or optional additional disruption event may have an adverse effect on the value or liquidity of the Securities, |
||
| expenses and taxation may be payable in respect of the Securities, | ||
| the Securities may be cancelled (in the case of Warrants) or redeemed (in the case of Notes and Certificates) in the case of illegality or impracticability and such cancellation or redemption may result in an investor not realising a return on an investment in the Securities, |
||
| the meetings of Holders provisions permit defined majorities to bind all Holders, | ||
| any judicial decision or change to an administrative practice or change to English law or French law, as applicable, after the date of the Base Prospectus could materially adversely impact the value of any Securities affected by it, |
||
